Raven v. Vejigante! Drawing from the riches of two distinct communities, A Tale of Two Tricksters is an evolving new performance project by the artists of the Alaska Native Heritage Center (ANHC) and Pregones/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater (Pregones/PRTT), showcasing creation myths.

Using the web, digital media, and in-person interactions, they are bridging the geographic distance between The Bronx and Anchorage to see what it’s like for each organization to champion culture, language, and authentic creative expression in these United States.

After a year of sharing, study, and exchange with support provided by Art Bridge at Artspace Projects in Minnesota—a brand new work is born! A Tale of Two Tricksters will be livestreamed while they perform in front of live audiences from their respective locations, interacting with each other using projected sounds and images.

This program is made possible by Artspace with lead funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, www.arts.gov, and in part by the Network of Ensemble Theaters’ Travel & Exchange Network (NET/TEN), www.ensembletheaters.net.
